This is one of the dumbest thing I have seen. Why would a candiate for a job advertise their being considered for another job. Perhaps you tell one that during the interview but to publish it? In any event, good luck young lady.

Under so-called “sunshine laws” many state universities are required to publish lists of finalists for top positions. Candidates often have no say in the matter. The fact that a candidate has become a finalist for a number of positions shows that search committees at different universities came to a similar conclusion that a particular candidate is worth serious consideration. It is fairly common for people to be candidates for more than one position.
